Chair of the Day: Moroso’s Sushi Sofa

It’s Friday, Yay! I’m looking forward to the weekend, aren’t you? I’ll be photographing graveyards and lounging on my sofa that isn’t this one.

But I wish it were. This is final entry of my week-long homage to Edward Van Vliet’s Sushi, designed for Moroso. My design business is all about color. It’s where I usually start. Personally, I love vibrant colors. I’m don’t wear all black all the time. A sofa like this might seem intimidating in a residential setting. It’s a real commitment for sure. It’s also one I’d like the chance to experience as a designer. I’m just looking for the right client.

Have a great weekend. After my graveyard shoot, I’ll get started on our second assignment for the Kitchen Cure. More about that next week. Plus, lots more posts. I’ve been a busy, working designer the last few weeks.

Chair of the Day: Moroso Sushi Pouf

Designer Edward Van Vliet described this as a “modernistic folklore Donut pouf.” Does that mean it comes with frosting?

His pouf is part of the Sushi Collection Edqard designed for Moroso. It looks a bit like a mini-tramp. I like poufs (I like mini-tramps, too). They have 1,001 uses.

Poufs make great coffee tables that can also be seats. The Sushi pouf scream, “PARTY!” to me. How about you?

Chair of the Day: Moroso’s Sushi

I’m hungry right now. Writing about sushi isn’t helping. The Sushi Collection, designed by the fabulous Edward Van Vliet for Moroso, looks good enough to eat. That’s why I’m writing about it all week.

What I said yesterday bears repeating. I love the dressmakerly aspects of the design. And the mix and match of the fabrics is brilliant, in my humble opinion.

Would you think of mixing these fabrics together in a room? It’s not an obvious match. But it works really well together. Sigh. So beautiful.

Chair of the Day: Van Vliet’s Sushi

I’m moving in a new direction from my higgldy-piggeldy approach to Chair of the Day – at least for this week. I’m going to be focusing on a series of sofas and chairs designed by Edward Van Vliet for Moroso. The collection is called Sushi and I love its dressmaker qualities.

The collection isn’t new, but it was featured a few weeks ago in Brussells at their Design Fair.

The Sushi collection is a sophisticated wrapping concept inspired by universal layers, found also in nature and architecture. A sofa with a hard shell, medium firmness support pillows and comfortable pillows on the surface. Each layer distinguished by a different sort of upholstery. I love this idea. Whatever you think of the fancy thoughts behind the design, these are just plain beautiful.

The details are vibrant. I’m intrigued by the mix of color and pattern on this sofa. To find a list of retailers in your area, follow the link.
